Response to Peary’s Review:
As Peary notes, it’s hard to get too upset over the “taboo” broken in this notorious XXX film, given that the two lead actors (one brunette, one blond) look nothing alike. Indeed, Taboo is ultimately more interesting as the story of a divorced woman’s sexual liberation than as a titillating exploitation film. After watching Parker suffer through a series of unsatisfying dates and obnoxious come-ons by men her own age, we’re actually happy that she finally acknowledges what she really wants, and goes for it.

Redeeming Qualities and Moments:

• A refreshingly realistic-looking, naturally busty female lead
• Genuine chemistry between Parker and Ranger
